Response

Promethean's Learner Response Systems are creating a revolution in education. Each learner response device gives individual students a voice while equipping teachers with a revolutionary tool for delivering dynamic lessons tailored to the immediate assessment of student performance.

ActiVote

ActiVote is a hand-held wireless Learner Response System with a simple 6-button, A-to-F interface. Teachers poll students at any time during class to assess progress and, based on responses, customize lessons to create a more personalized learning environment that is tailored to individual student needs.

Ask, Engage and Assess

Classroom participation and student collaboration are integral components of the learning experience but it takes courage to speak up in front of classmates. ActiVote enhances interactive learning by giving even the most timid students a voice enabling educators to assess the entire class, while teaching based on the needs of individuals.

With A–F voting capability, a classroom-tough design ActiVote makes whole-class participation fun, exciting and easy. Ask a question with ActiVote and feel the energy level surge when the classroom comes to life with stimulating discussions and lively responses. Create a spontaneous, yet focused learning environment with ActiVote by polling the class and starting a debate on a whim to delve deep into students’ understanding of key concepts.

Give Every Child a Voice

With ActiVote, you won’t have to guess whether students truly grasp the lesson content. The entire class clicks to respond and answers are instantly viewed, shared and analysed on the ActivBoard in easy to understand formats, such as bar graphs and pie charts. Gain insight into student progress and use real-time feedback to determine whether you need to review, re-teach or proceed with the remainder of lesson. Students build confidence with every vote, while self-evaluating their progress through both instant feedback and achievement records tallied over time.
